MCCAIN: You should be ashamed -- you should be ashamed of sponsoring an event with that man there who had attacked your own father.
BUSH: The man was not speaking for me. If you want to know my opinion about you, John, you served our country admirably and strongly, and I'm proud of your record, just like you are.
And I don't appreciate what he said about my dad, either. But let me say something, if you're going to be -- hold me responsible for what people for me say, I'm going to do the same for you. And let me give you one example.
Warren Rudman, the man who you had as your campaign man in New Hampshire, said about the Christian Coalition that they're bigots. He talked about the Christian Coalition in a way that was incredibly strong. I know you don't believe that, do you?
MCCAIN: George, he's entitled to his opinion on that issue.
BUSH: Well, so is this man.

GEORGE BUSH IS A CLASS ACT!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the process at work here, and it is right out of Stalin's play book for obtaining power over political enemies.
The trouble is, that republicans value the truth too much to do the same to them. I wonder sometimes whether we can fend these maniacs off in the long run, or if we will have to take it to the streets.
